I started to type that it looks like Yooper's house pale but I see you intended that. I've brewed that a few times with various hops including a simcoe/amarillo combo that was nice. It's just a tad on the malty side for me so my personal taste would be to up the bittering since you're going a little bigger. Strictly personal preference though, looks good!

Fair enough! I've got ounces of Nugget... I was thinking to add more bittering charge anyway. This calculator shorts me on IBUs for flameout additions tho.

But I kind of like how a hopbursted ale fades to malty over a time.

Yeah I'll prob throw in an extra 1/2 oz of nugget at 60min
